At the forefront of alternative and integrative medicine
Systemic approach — Therapeutic synthesis
Caring for the whole person and not just treating the symptom or the pain.
A care centre where several medical and therapeutic systems complement one another:
Most patients who come through our door have already seen a doctor, already been examined, already been treated. What they have often missed is someone who truly looks and listens, a thorough medical history, a hands-on examination; a complete assessment of the person.
This is the very foundation of the clinical examination, and it is slowly but surely disappearing from medical consultations.
One specialist per organ or function, one drug per symptom, a prescription with a long list of medicines to treat every symptom. A system that does not look at what links the parts to the whole, and pays very little attention to how the parts interact with each other.
The clinical examination must always come before further tests (blood work, X-rays), because you only find what you are looking for. Without that clinical groundwork, tests may reveal nothing despite the patient's suffering — a classic case of “putting the cart before the horse” with subtle conditions.
One drug for the side effect of the previous one, and so on. The relief is real but short-lived: only the effects are considered, while the cause remains unknown and unaddressed. The link between cause and effect is often left out — let alone the link between one cause and several effects, or between several causes and several effects.
An obstacle course: one appointment after another with no end in sight and no logical sequence, an illness you have to explain all over again each time, and no overall view of your health.
Systemic medicine does not replace modern medicine; it gives back the coherence modern medicine lost when it became industrial, segmented and dependent on pharmaceuticals (big pharma).
Together with its two corollaries, alternative and integrative medicine, it is the new path of medicine: one that brings many options together in a coordinated approach that makes the most of a treatment's therapeutic effects.
Every discipline practised at the Axis Medica care centre has a precise place in a protocol designed as a coherent whole.
A long consultation that looks at the reason for your visit in light of your medical history, other ongoing problems, your sleep, diet and digestion, your stress levels, the tests you have already had and the treatments you have received. We map before we treat.
We trace the chain back to the original imbalance — inflammatory, degenerative, hormonal, neurogenic, metabolic, digestive, postural, traumatic or psychosomatic — so that the treatment, built on a thorough knowledge of the patient, is effective and lasting.
Acupuncture, homeopathy, mesotherapy, herbal medicine, nutritional medicine and osteopathy, manual medicine, joint and spinal traction are not competing options: they complement each other within a single, coherent protocol.
The treatment plan is reviewed at every consultation, lightened as soon as possible, and coordinated with other health professionals when needed.
